Very well done. I feel like we have a somewhat similar concept so that's funny to see.
The jumps feel like they have to be a little too perfect sometimes. Very good level design and nice art.
Great job!
Very cool came. I liked the animation of the brains flipping and them reunite a lot. The levels are well designed as well

I had a lot of fun playing this one! Very cool puzzle game that I think had plenty of opportunities and could have more for interesting mechanics. My only complaint was that there were some easier levels that illustrated a few more of the advanced topics, ie the idea of having one brain jump while another is falling in order to get past something. Good use of the theme to make a cool puzzle game! Good job.
Extremely Hard but its a flappy bird like experience where you want to try over and over again to beat the game. This would surely get features on GMTK. Great Work! :)
The art is well done, and the levels are fun to try and solve. I wish there were a few more easier levels so I could get a better grasp of the mechanic. It took me a while to figure out how double jumping works.
Overall, great job on this game!
Genius usage of the theme, absolutely love it
The funky music, great pixel art style and challenging levels make for a great game to play. I really like the way you get right into the action as there is no need to explain the controls. However, maybe adding a few easier levels at the start could help getting players used to controlling the two characters at once.
Overall I really enjoyed the game, I believe it deserves a place in the top 100 games, well done!
Top notch art and sound for sure, it's clear why this has been rated so much. I really like the puzzle mechanics too. I've seen games have two characters controls be linked before but they usually aren't in the same place together from my experience. I found the controls to be a bit too sluggish for my liking but I will also admit that this may be intentional as this isn't meant to be a fast paced game. I also found some of the puzzles to require more trial and error than thinking, which I'm not sure was intentional. Some puzzles were also frustrating. For example, I did things almost identically for the first level when I played it two times, but died one time and didn't the other. I think the slow movement and large spike hit-boxes are to blame as they require very precise movement which I don't really think this type of game needs to require. All in all, this is really great and I'm really only being so hard on it because of how much potential it shows and how close it is to fully meeting that potential. I hope you can polish it up a bit and make it even better than it already is. Awesome job!
the game have nice looks but it s a litle frustrating but overall a nice game
Great concept, funky music and good graphics. The platforming and hitboxes are a bit finicky at times, as you can hit spikes from the sides. Still, great job!
I like the premise, it is simple enough to quickly understand but takes a lot of thinking to actually pull off. I could feel myself getting better as time went on and I learned a few tricks, and I would love to see what this game might be like with more obstacles and powerups! The only real criticism I can give is that the difficulty ramped up pretty quickly around the middle and made the game frustrating for a little while, but I eventually got over the hump and thoroughly enjoyed the game to its end. The art style was also nice and fit your game's theme well, and the music was a nice touch. Well done, this game has a lot of potential should you ever decide to come back to it and expand on it!
Thanks for taking the time to play and write a thorough review. This feedback really does make me want to expand on the game.
Controls feel a little slow but great concept and execution!
Thanks and also for everyone seeing this comment, check out anchored down, it's really creative
Simple but interesting concept Level get harder and harder i need baby mode :D
Ahhh I love the concept here. Difficult but made me want to keep trying. Love the music as well. Very well done!
Nice art sytle! Loved the animations. Nice job, bro!
I can't even figure out the second level : ). Great presentation though!
Check out the walkthrough if you need help:
Not the most original, but very fun! The difficulty curve is also a bit quick. I also love the graphics, they are very slick!
fun idea, though a little hard at the beginning
that animation when you link together, so satisfying
